Description of the problem	Yesterday as i was making a turn through a busy intersection, my steering wheel suddenly locked up and the alert "service advancetrac" popped up on my dash. I was unable to complete the turn, and a car going nearly 55 mph swerved around me and missed t-boning me by a few feet. Initially, i was just concerned. But after going to the mechanic and finding that my steering control module is faulty (this vehicle only has 62,000 miles on it), and this is a well-known issue in other ford vehicles and in the f150 as well, i became furious that ford has not issued a recall when i could have been killed yesterday. If ford does not make this right, i will never purchase another ford vehicle, will encourage all my friends/family to never purchase a ford vehicle, and will use my considerable business and personal network to ensure that they all know that ford knows about a very significant issue and is refusing to issue a recall for an issue that could lead to the death of its customers. I called the minions at the 1-800 number and they told me they could not help me and that ford had not issued a recall for this issue and i was on my own. I'll pay the $1500 + labor now. But i'll be back with my attorney if this issue is not addressed to my satisfaction.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
